No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.

Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.
Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.
When arrested, the court sets a bail amount based on the crime's severity, your criminal history, and your flight risk. If you can't afford bail, you stay in jail until your court date. The duration of jail time varies.
Held without bail IS being sent to/kept in prison. Depending on the judge's review of issues such as flight risk and risk to the public, an indicted person can be held until the conclusion of the trial process (including appeals). This can in extreme cases be a year or more.
The bail amount is based on the crime(s) for which the individual is arrested as well as his or hire criminal history. For example, misdemeanor bail typically starts at $5,000 – $10,000. Felony bail starts at $25,000 and increases depending on the seriousness and number of charges.
When a judge announces no bond, the defendant isn't eligible for release from county jail through bail as the judge has not set a bail amount. Instead, the arrested person has to remain in custody until the case concludes or a judge potentially sets bail at a later hearing.
